A Place Nearby
(Author Note:-
I walked into the hospital saw my little Kari lying there, helpless. She lay there with her eyes closed. I didn't know whether she was alive or only sleeping. Mom told me to be home as soon as I could, but I couldn't leave my little angel. I called my mom and told her I was staying with the love of my life, till her dying moment.
Ever since last month when the docter told her she had cancer, I never knew thi would happen so soon. I don't understand, one minute she's healthy, the next minute, she's here, dying.
sat by your bed all through the night
Iwatched your daily fight
I hardly knew
"Kari?" I said.
"TK" She answered smiling.
"Your gonna be better, I know it" I said bravely.
"No TK, you've gotta listen to me" She said.
"What?" I asked.
"Heaven is a place nearby, so I won't be so far away. And If you try and look for me, maybe
you'll find me someday. Heaven is a place nearby, so theres no need to say goodbye. I wanna
ask you not to cry, I'll always be by your side"
She said quietly.
And still I hear
Your last words to me.
Heaven is a place nearby
So I won't be so far away.
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday.
Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side.
It may be a week ago, but I can't bring myself to come out of my room. I just want to stay there forever and cry. Then today, I felt heavens ray shining into my heart, telling me to stay strong. I could tell the ray was sent by Kari.
You spread your wings you had flown
Away to something unknown
Wish I could bring you back.
You're always on my mind
About to tear myself apart.
You have your special place in my heart.
"Heaven is a place nearby, so I won't be so far away. And If
you try and look for me, maybe you'll find me someday. Heaven is
a place nearby, so theres no need to say goodbye. I wanna ask you
not to cry, I'll always be by your side". I knew Kari meant
that. 'Don't worry Kari' I thought to myself 'you'll always be in
my heart'.
So I won't be so far away.
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday.
Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side.
"TK" I heard the wind whisper. I took no
notice of it.
"TK" it whispered again. Then I recognised the voice. It was Kari.
"Kari, come back to me" I whispered back.
"Remember what I said please. Until another time" Said the wind. Then all
was silent. Kari had left me, for now at least.
I still can hear your voice
And those words
I never will forget.
